Well pointed out Bec.... People jump up and down when I disappear for a couple of months... though I do that for the same reasons as stated here and previously, the forum must be taken in bites, it is not a permanent place of residence for any person nor a permanent support facility. You must force yourself out, you must force yourself to get involved in local community groups or the like, where you will reintegrate with society.

I was going to post something similar actually, in the sense about some peoples reliance upon this forum. If you tell yourself that you "need" this forum or that you could not live without this forum, then you are definitely the people who this is addressed too. You need to leave the forum for six months and become healthy by forcing yourself into exposure within society, instead of attempting to sustain yourself within a mythical fantasy of the world wide web. They are just not the same.
